An Essay on the Trial by Jury

Lysander Spooner

Sinopse

In 'An Essay on the Trial by Jury,' Lysander Spooner presents a compelling treatise defending the rights of jurors and the principle of jury nullification. With meticulous detail and legalistic prose, Spooner delves into the historical foundations of the common law jury system and argues for its preservation as a critical safeguard of justice and individual liberty. His literary style is both precise and persuasive, situating the essay firmly within the literary context of 19th-century American jurisprudence and political philosophy. The legacy of this work is underscored by Spooner's dedication to the principles of natural law and his staunch opposition to government overreach.

Lysander Spooner, an influential legal theorist and political radical, was deeply motivated by a profound belief in natural rights and individual sovereignty. His fiery passion for social justice and unwavering commitment to the rule of law can be seen in this seminal work. Personal experiences with legal battles and his active engagement with abolitionist causes undoubtedly shaped Spooner's perspective and prompted his examination of the jury system as a democratic bulwark against tyranny.

'DigiCat Publishing's edition of 'An Essay on the Trial by Jury' is an indispensable read for those interested in the history of legal thought, the jurisprudence of jury rights, and the continuance of Spooner's legacy as a defender of civil liberties. This edition challenges contemporary readers to consider the enduring importance of the trial by jury in modern judicial systems. Its relevance extends to scholars, law students, and anyone passionate about justice and the power of the populace to influence it.

Honor Loyalty and Merit - The...

Otto Federico von Feigenblatt

The Spanish nobility continues to be influential in the early 21st century in politics, academia, and the economy. The polarized socio-cultural environment in Spain in the early decades of the millennium is paralleled by an increasingly divisive political discourse and deadlock in terms of governance. Understanding the subcultures of the most influential socio-political groups is important to be able to interpret the political developments. A vast array of studies have been conducted about the rise of the extreme left but there is a dearth of studies dealing with the impact of the traditional nobility in contemporary Spain. The present study presents an emic model of elite culture through the application of a grounded theory approach to texts released by five of the main noble associations in Spain during the last ten years. An inductive approach focuses on the identification of important themes and concepts as expressed and understood by the participants. Traditional noble associations are the focus of the study, in particular, the associations under Royal patronage. The resulting emic model aims to map the mores, norms, and values of a highly visible social group about which there are very few sociological and anthropological studies.

New Methods of Consciousness...

Timothy Leary

Here is an extremely rare recording from the BetterListen! archives. 
Available in digitlal format for the very first time. 
Recorded in NYC in 1991, this recording reflects the wisdom, foresight and brilliance of Dr Timothy Leary. 
Timothy Leary believed that a psychedelic experience is a journey to new realms of consciousness. The scope and content of the experience is limitless, but its characteristic features are the transcendence of verbal concepts, of spacetime dimensions, and of the ego or identity. Such experiences of enlarged consciousness can occur in a variety of ways: sensory deprivation, yoga exercises, disciplined meditation, religious or aesthetic ecstasies, or spontaneously. 
We hope you enjoy this recording and peak into one of the most interesting minds in recent history.
